TL;DR: The results of a numerical climate-model experiment support the argument that the stages in evolution of Asian monsoons are linked to phases of Himalaya–Tibetan plateau uplift and to Northern Hemisphere glaciation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed multimodel ensembles for the A2 and B1 emission scenarios produced for the fourth assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, with the goal of identifying regions projected to experience high magnitudes of local climate change, development of novel 21st-century climates, and/or the disappearance of extant climates.

TL;DR: The authors used the Community Climate Model (CCM) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) to estimate the magnitude, timing and pattern of the climatic response to prescribed changes of orbital parameters (date of perihelion, axial tilt, eccentricity) and glacial-age lower boundary conditions (ice sheets, land albedo, sea ice and sea surface temperature).

TL;DR: Starr et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the 23,000 and 41,000-year cycles of glaciation are continuous, linear responses to orbitally driven changes in the Arctic radiation budget, and used the phase progression in each climatic cycle to identify the main pathways along which the initial, local responses to radiation are propagated by the atmosphere and ocean.
